Project Information
Smiths Lake High-Water Trail
A group of Smiths Lake Village residents is working to connect and enhance the existing informal trail network around the shores of Smiths Lake. The vision is simple: a low-impact, off-road pedestrian path that connects our favourite places and invites locals and visitors to explore and linger in the village, rather than travel elsewhere for bushwalking and recreation.
The High-Water Trail will showcase more of the area's natural beauty to a wider audience, support the local economy, and extend visitor activity beyond the peak season. It will also deliver practical benefits — enabling land care, weed management, and the removal of abandoned equipment and rubbish from the foreshore.
The trail serves a broad range of recreational users — bushwalkers, kayakers, and birdwatchers — united by a commitment to protecting and preserving Smiths Lake's unique natural environment while encouraging sustainable, minimal-impact access for all.
